Great clip... Just quickly, it should be noted that the A-10 is one badass little airplane.

Question: What steps has Todd Dodge taken to keep Liam Gallagher from leaving Oasis? 20 bucks on the table for that question answered, in audio format...

Ya know, people...I'm an ordained minister than lives 115 miles from The Strip. Ya know, just for future reference. Congrats to FFJ and RG! With everyone getting married and cranking out kids, I'm starting to feel a little left out.

Coach Fry lives in Mesquite, Nevada? I had dinner in Mesquite just last night...I live 20 minutes up the road. Best wishes to Coach Fry...

Keep any and all student athletes out of this...from any level of competition...and I'll keep it open 'til it gets out of hand.

I'm a dog chasing cars...

First Switzer and Cara, now you and Lera... Congrats to you all!

Last week, I spent a three hour flight next to an Army Infantryman coming home for his 18 day R&R...on his way to see his wife and kids for the first time in 8 months. I kept the Jack and Cokes coming...after all, he deserved it...and we had a great conversation. He said he has been in Iraq at some point in the year...every year for the last five. The story I got from him was similar...that we really have accomplished alot in Iraq. However, he seemed to agree with the opinion of majority of the U.S. in that we really need to be in Afghanistan and not in Iraq. He said that every day, Iraqis are killing Iraqis...and we are just stuck in the middle. One story in particular that really seemed to irk the hell out of him...was one where they got word that a guy planted a car bomb in the middle of a local market in Mosul to kill fellow Iraqis. He and his guys went in, cleared the streets, and did a controlled detonation of the bomb, thus saving countless Iraqi lives. When it was over, the shops in the markets had broken glass from the shockwaves off the explosion. The shop owners threw a fit to the U.S. Military about this and WE had to pay them for the glass. Nevermind the fact that it was their own people that planted the bomb...and the U.S. Army came and got them out before it blew. He said it was at that point he realized how ungrateful some of these people were...and how we were viewed by the Iraqis. He said he felt that we have done all we can do in Iraq, and it is time to get back to the original objective...fighting terrorism, not occupying Iraq. (Occupation was his word for it...I'm not putting words in his mouth.) Now, this is a career guy. In the time I spent talking with him, I really got the feeling that that he loves his country, loves serving his country in the Army, and is proud of what he does. This is a guy who has sacrificed the last 5 years of his life that he could have spent with his kids...to be in the Middle East trying to make a difference. When a hardcore, frontline guy like that starts to have second thoughts about what we are doing over there...maybe it is time to re-evaluate. And here's to him tonight...counting down the few remaining days 'til he leaves his young family once again to head back to that hellhole. Thank God we have people like Staff Sergeant Blackburn watching our backs... Best conversation I've ever had on a flight...

Hey brotha...PM me your number again. Being up in St. George, I'm in Vegas at least once every couple of weeks...haven't seen your happy ass in years. I want to go to the USU @ UNLV game on 8/30 and get to re-use the words "DAMMIT DICKEY!"

After reading the Cliff Notes there... I'm almost at the point where I wish I could say EE was just a troll, trying to get his kicks out of seeing if he could offend someone. Sadly, EE has been spewing the same garbage for years with no remorse or joking nature implied...and it is really scary when someone displays such blatant ignorance and tries to defend it.

So you're saying you see some kind of end in sight for the "Global War On Terror"? Because, let me tell ya, this thing has the potentional to be almost as successfull as the "War on Drugs". You can't declare war on things that are abstract and expect to defeat them when all you're doing is pissing off the people who already hate you. The Nazis and Japanese Imperialism were not abstracts...they were actual, organized entities...

THIS. I don't have anything to hide in my phone calls...but allowing warrant-free wiretapping opens the door for all kinds of losses of liberty down the road. For anyone to question a police officer's memory of the events of 9/11 is almost a slap in the face. First responders, like Emmitt, and airline operations personnel, like myself, don't get the privelege of "forgetting" that day. I personally believe that giving up my personal liberties...something that makes this country so great, envied, and even hated...is similar to conceding defeat to the ideology of the bastards that were at the controls of AAL11, UAL175, AAL77, and UAL93.

And this surprises you out of eulesseagle? Judging from past run-in's with him on here, I've determined that EE is the most hardcore conservative, Christian, right-wing, Republican, straight, white, American male (read: bigot) on this message board...or he at least plays one on the interwebs. Ya know what I like? Pizza. Cheese pizza....with extra cheese. None of that "four cheese" crap. Just shit-tons of regular mozzarella.

In all honesty, I don't even remember posting this. I was, however, incredibly hungover this morning. Not fun.

I've had 19 shots tonight...I'm drunk...so, I'll post. Egven I';m on the super special double secret probabtion boardf. I love you guys. I'm soryr.

Whew...that was close. We almost talked Packers football...and JQ...on the NT Football board. God forgive us.

Ditto...because the complaining might offend someone.

Hell..let them charge us extra and let the department make a little extra money. Untapped fundraising resource...

In case you forgot... Mandy still sucks.

Most likely scenario. Let's face it. No one wants to be associated with a 2-9 team.

Please be careful in how you run the campaign if this referendum makes the ballot. I was active in campaigning for an athletics fee the last time we had a vote for one...and, in retrospect, I feel the campaigning we put out there might have done more harm than good. It stirred up the hornets nest that is the apathetic, anti-athletics students and got them out to the poll. I think things are a little different now...but still...careful if this comes to a vote.

Once again...Smitty is the golden god of graphics... Great work as always...thanks much! Sidenote: Coach might pee himself over the Lou Marini userbar.

Don't forget the Edward Forty-hands competition for bonus points!

Involving Mandy and her red shorts in anything that has to do with fundraising is a step-backward.
